With the challenges posed by Covid-19, the corresponding rise in online learning, and improvements in education technology, ALSA’s first academic symposium on the topic of “New Challenges and New Opportunities in Legal Education” was timely. The symposium was jointly organized by the law schools of Jilin University and City University of Hong Kong. More than 15 excellent papers were presented over a wide range of topics including publishing research on legal education; student evaluations of teaching during the pandemic and potential alternative measures of teaching quality; legal ethics and clinics; digital tools for student engagement; user interfaces in virtual classrooms; and the role of technology in legal education and innovative teaching methodologies.
